Last generation receiver to pair with oppo BDP-95


Could someone point me in the right direction? I am looking for a non HDMI 5.1 receiver to run a setup for a small room with b&w 685's all around. I would pair this with the oppo bdp-95 and use the analog outs for decoding. What receivers could I look at on the used market that would have the best audio? I would be looking for 5.1 only as i have no room for two extra speakers.

I have the stereo outs of the oppo going to my bryston amp and driving some modified DQ-10's.

Thanks for the help.

Perhaps an older Arcam receiver.
I still have an Arcam AV-8 I use for movies(no issues)and she sounds terrific.
I am currently using a NAD T773 avr mfd. around 2004 with an Oppo BDP-83 and Klipsch RF-63 system. It is powerful and very musical. Never an issue or hiccup at all with this piece. Used prices from $350.00 to $600.00.

Any of the B&K models(AVR305,307,505,507) wi11 be very musical and powerful and will do just about anything non-HDMI.

This one is on the high side but a great receiver indeed.

This Yamaha was the flagship receiver in 2003.

You might want to look into a NAD T762. I have had this receiver for 7+ years and just use it for movies and tv and it sounds great. I use it with my Pioneer Blu Ray player which handles all of the decoding. It is a 6.1 channel receiver, you do not have to use that 6th channel, i don't. It might be a good match for your B&W's. Something to consider. Good luck.
You may still want to opt for a new model receiver even if you want to only use the analog inputs. Most modern models are internet capable for firmware and internet radio etc. The Oppo also allows for HDMI video with analog audio so you can use the receiver for HDMI switching. And a new model will be backwards compatible with 5.1 and all other modes of operation you may wish. Just a thought.
